Pours unclear blonde, small white head. Smell is malty, very intense natural malts, mild wheat notes even, bready, very fresh and crisp. Hops are more mellow. Bit citrussy. Nice cohabitation of both aspects. Taste is full, crisp, rather sharp. Bit malty ( less than the scent provided). Mild pine, médium bitter. Bit soapy, but not necessarily bad.

Sampled at Snallygaster 2019. Poured a nearly pitch black color with a small tan head. Aroma was roasted coffee, roast malts. Some heat from the barrel, but also a little bit of smoothness. Light spicy note. Tastes a lot like the regular colossal.
